@mikedemopoulos
I build partner-led growth across cloud infrastructure, hosting, SaaS, and open-source ecosystems.
What I'm looking for
At hosting.com, I manage 500+ VIP and enterprise accounts across North America, closing five-figure MRR growth through renewals, upgrades, and expansion. I also built targeted partner outreach that converted agency and MSP engagement into meetings or replies at an approximate 80% rate.
Previously, as Head of Partnerships at Codeable, I opened web hosting as a strategic market and expanded distribution through WP Toolkit integrations with cPanel and Plesk. I led the partner initiative from business case and RFP through rollout, while redesigning onboarding to reduce applicant-to-approval time from roughly 10 months to three weeks.
I've built go-to-market campaigns around major industry events, sourced M&A opportunities, and helped raise more than $1M for the Joomla project. I'm also applying AI workflow and multi-agent tooling to practical business use, with a focus on reliable, privacy-conscious adoption.
